LeayenwOrth Street.

At the meeting of the Leavcnworth
street property owners, held at Porter
Bros, store, on Saturday evening, Mr..
Euclid Martin was elected chairman,
and George II. Hobbie, acted rs secre-
tary. The question of sewerage, paving
and street lines were discussed, and
steps were taken for the purpose of form
ing permanent organization of prop
erty owners for the purpose of protect.
ing all the interests of the street.
The city council was requested, by res
olutiOn, to at once take such action as
might be necessary to require sewer,
water and gas connections to be made
from the street mains to the curb lines be-
fore the work of paving was commenced,
AS the mains for sewer, water and gas
pipes are not yet laid, 1T was declared
unwise and against the best interest of the
street to pave during the present season.
The city council was accordingly re-
quested to delay the work Of paving until
next spring, by which time the trenches
will be settled and the work of paving
can then be done without danger of set
tling, and being constantly torn up as
has been the case on Tenth street and
other streets where the paving followed
Immediately upon the heels of trench

Putting Wires Underground.

"Chicago is the only city in the United
States that has gone earnestly to work
putting its telegraph wires under
ground" said City Electrician Barrett
the other day. Although many cities
have passed ordinances to this effect"
continued the official, "the law has not
been enforced, and dlIatory court pro-
ceedings have kept active movements in
abeyance. We have made great progress
in our city, and expect to have every pole
pulled down as far south as Twelfth
street before the end of this year. There
are now in the central portion of the city
only a very few poles, and these are
standing on Washington and Dearborn
steets, with few on Michigan avenue.
The telegraph companies are going
ahead faster than the city in burying
their wires, and q lack of funds keeps
back our part of the work. The city is
growing fast. and appropriations have to
be used in extending the wires, leaving
but small amount to be applied in this
direction. There is about $4,000 to be
expended IN burying the wires. and we
will follow the telephone company to
West Madison street in the work. There
will also be considerable work done on
the north side, and the heaviest wires will
be under ground before the end of the
summer throughout the entire business
portion of the CITY,"

New York Sun: There Is no more at.
tractive spectacle in sight from this
planet at present than the celestial levee
that Venus Is holding in the evening sky.
with the assistance of Saturn and those
famous brothers, Castor and Pollux.
Last night they formed square. Venus
and Saturn being the lower pair. Venus
is at present west of Saturn. Watch tor
them four or tive evenings to come and
you will see Venus slowly approach Sa-
turn and pass to the east Of him. Venus
is beyond all comparison the brightest of
the group, yet Saturn is $50 times as
large as Venus. But he Is upward of ten
times as far from the earth as Venus is,
and proportionately still further from the
sun, and it is the combination of these
things that makes his light so pale in
comparison with hers.
Both of the planets outshlne their CON-
panions, Castor and Pollux, aud here
again the element Of distance comes IN
to mislead. Tho fact Is. If Castor and
Pollux were as near to us as either Venus
or Saturn they would turn night into
day upon the earth, for they are suns,
and big ones, too. There Is lots Of room
in the universe.
